Chương 170: Overcoming the cynophobia

|Innaya|

Until you experience something, you would not know what emotions it would bring to you. Because of my cynophobia, I always stayed away from dogs. Touching them, being near to them was never any possibility happening in my life.

So, today when I actually put my fingers on Fortune's fur, I realized what I was missing. It was not how his hair felt under my fingertips rather the happiness that radiated from his face. I never knew dogs could smile or laugh. Witnessing look of pure elation on Fortune's face had me brave up and caress his head.

Casting aside my reservations, I inched closer and brought my other hand down on his front, scratching the area of his chest lightly. I had seen Eshan doing that to Fortune.

I paused when he flipped. I was startled for a moment and both my hands hung mid-air. I did not know what to do. Didn't he like me petting him?
